I have an airbrush booth in progress , or are you talking a large spray can setup ?
Shall I post a picture of my "booth," which consists of a flattened cardboard box and two try-fold display boards sitting next to my open garage door? :tongue:
OK, you asked for it! Here is my "painting booth." It consists of two several year old ex-science fair projects, one of which was previously used as an air-gun target.
But hey, it works! And I've certainly got it in a well-ventilated area...

This is the painting bay adjoining our workshop. The compressor is in the adjoining room, you see the compressor hose.Personally, I'm talking about the large setups but anything qualifies for this thread.
You could buy a box fan (or find one at a garage sale) and 2 HVAC filters. 1 filter could be attached to a cutout in your plasticsheet paint booth. Then attach the other one to the fan and make that output to a window or door. clean air coming in. and somewhat clean air going out. still recommend a mask no matter what.I have made a 10' x 10' x 8' "booth" out of plastic sheeting used typically as a drip cloth for house painting. I can paint some pretty big HP stuff in there. I have glued the plastic to 1x2x10' pine boards. When setup they hang down from the roof of my garage and I use clothes pins to close the corners. Light get in since the plastic is thin. Works well to protect the rest of the garage but I'm in there too and get covered in paint overspray. My first time I came out a rather odd shade of red (Rustoleum red, see rocket on the left of my avatar) and blew my nose and coughed red stuff for a couple days. Now I put on a Tyvek suit and charcoal-type mask. I'm sure some out there will say I need a full breathing rig. If I had the $$ I would.
